To 3D or not to 3D. That is the question still facing many of you. Well, at least the nerd glasses are getting lighter. The new TY-EW3D Series from Panasonic claim to be the world lightest 3D glasses available with just 26g in total in its S and M version while the L Version with its 27g seems to be as “heavy” as other models on the market.

These new glasses also come with a new battery offering you up to 3 hours worth of 3D just after 2 minutes of charge or a total of 25 hours of 3D if fully charged for 30 minutes.

When you watch 3D movies in the theater, the glasses are heavy and uncomfortable. Dolby has a new solution and has just announced this newer and lighter pair of 3D glasses. They will also come with anti-theft measures and an RFID tag for inventory control purposes.

Theater owners will also be happy to know that the thinner lenses can be washed and reused hundreds of times. They are $12 each and are cheaper when purchased in bulk. Though they won’t improve the quality of a movie script or lower ticket prices.

If you somehow thought that the last Transformers movie was good, then you’ll no doubt want to see Transformers: Dark of the Moon this summer. You’ll also likely want to add $10 to the cost of each ticket, since Hasbro is offering these Transformers Cine-Mask 3D glasses.

They will be selling these in stores before the movie’s release and they are available in Optimus Prime and Bumblebee versions. The masks each have a standard set of RealD 3D glasses, which makes them suitable for most theaters out there and other 3D movies. Sadly there’s no adult sizes available.

3D TVs are gaining in popularity, but it will take time for many to adopt it. Regular 3D TV, which requires glasses might be embraced more if…well if you ditch the glasses. They are nerdy and expensive. That’s why Sansa is offering Universal 3D glasses. I mean, what if you buy a 3D TV and you lose the glasses? Or they break?

Well, Sansa’s 3D glasses will recognize 3D signals coming in from any 3D TV. The glasses cost $100 a pair. Still expensive, but at least they work across the board.

The glasses have “optically correct 6-base curved lenses” with a “high tech multi-layered mirrored coating which allows the wearer to view themselves in a mirror without distortion”. Would you pay $225 for a pair of retro looking 3D glasses?

In an effort to stand out from other 3D offerings and entice you to buy a new 3D TV, Samsung is the first major manufacturer to offer a prescription version of their 3D glasses in Korea. The SSG-R2200 models are similar to the company’s other active shutter 3D glasses, but they’re made to order from an optometrist.

This way you will actually be able to see that glourious or not so glorious 3D. These should be available in the US eventually. No word on pricing yet, but hopefully it won’t be too much.

Viewsonic has introduced a new 24-inch V3D241wm-LED 3D monitor, and unlike some other companies, it comes with a pair of active 3D glasses. Viewsonic claims that their 120Hz frame rate, and 2ms response time is the best for your gaming and movies so far.

Ahh, the dorkiness that is/are 3D glasses. If you need to pick up an extra pair of Sony’s Active Shutter glasses, they’re available now on Amazon for $150 each. Making 3D movies some very expensive rentals or buys.

They are compatible with Sony’s HX800, HX909 and LX900 3DTVs, and the batteries last for up to 100 hours before they need charging. Don’t forget, you’ll also need an emitter for $48 if you don’t have one already and a 3D Blu-ray player. The 3DTV too of course. And lots of money.

There are many different manufacturers coming out with their own 3D glasses, but these Monster Vision Max 3D glasses are touted as the world’s first and only universal wireless 3D eyewear shutter system and its Active 3D eyewear system is the only RF Shutter system that will work with all brands of 3D HDTVs.

The company has been working on a new lens that would allow for 3D video with no glasses needed. The display tracks the viewers eyes using an onboard computer.

Stereoscopic 3D technology has been around for a long time and it has come a long way. Toshiba has introduced a new OCB (Optically Compensated Bend) LCD panel that works in time-based type 3D glasses.

In those glasses it will facilitate high-speed shutter opening and closing, which minimizes eye fatigue caused by “3D crosstalk”, a phenomena that happens when the right image is sensed by the left eye and vice versa, causing double vision. It also means better image quality and a wide viewing angle.

The incompatibility of glasses from 3DTV manufacturers is another sign that 3DTV is just a passing phase. And I find it to be an annoying one personally. Now there’s word from Samsung that they should work with other TVs if worn upside down. Which really stinks because you already look ridiculous enough.

The trick was revealed during a demonstration of Samsung’s 3DTVs in the UK, with R&D chief Simon Lee using a Panasonic 3DTV to explain the compatibility. The trick will only work on sets that use Active Shutter glasses, and so far it has only been tested with Samsung and Panasonic’s sets.
